the serious problem with deep skirted filters is that the audio will stink !

besides almost no receivers are sold with deep skirts, most have the
cheapest piece of garbage they can find. Don't know of any receiver sold in
the past 20 years below $500 that had decent filters other than the S800 or
E1

if anyone is aware of a sub $500 new radio with excellent filters please let
me know. I may have forgotten (but I doubt it)

do you want to see if your receiver has the "right stuff" ? here is an
excellent test.
in the evening (about 0200-0700) tune to 6139.8 with your receivers basic
settings, you should get a terrible het (wiht 6140). if you can get rid
of the het and listen to the low power south american local with great
clarity then your receiver has the right stuff. if no het is present,
then try later when the station on 6140 is present.

the S800 can do it supurbly with its selectable side band sync. MOST
receivers can't even do a fair job or they take a lot of work to get
barely decent results. some of the receivers that can do it give poor
fidelity.
Sounds like a repeat of the same thread you started back in May, viz
http://www.radio-forum.com/shortwave...ow_438287.html .
I would suggest that the interferer would have to be transmitting on one
sideband only for any receiver to be able to pull out the other sideband
of the desired station, if the carriers are co-channel. In which case,
lots of radios with fairly steep-skirted filters would do fine.
